Sizz was cool enough to commission a fantasy-style portrait of Revy, and I had a BLAST with it. Originally she was going to be primarily based Chinese dragon parchments, but as I drew her she took on more of an Amaterasu-dog feel, so I went with it, combined the styles, and added some flames for good measure.

Those who have played Okami will see the obvious inspiration! The script is kanji for "friend".

I really want to do more commissions like this. Fantasy creatures are one of my favorite subjects in my personal works.

Start now, work hard, take a few classes, draw from life every day, never leave home without a sketchbook and don't give up because you don't think you're good enough.

<3 I love this attitude. It's how I feel about music. It's my dream to be a musician, and I believe that no one should ever give up on their dreams just because they think they can't, or just because people tell them it's not realistic - because if you work hard you can do anything.
